Fountain Hills Theater announces the auditions for the musical Angry Housewives.

Bored with their everyday lives and kept in insignificance by their boyfriends/husbands, these are four angry women. They try a number of outlets, but nothing suits until one of them strikes a chord on her guitar and suggests that they form a punk rock group to enter the upcoming talent show at the neighborhood punk club? Their group "The Angry Housewives," enter and win. This genial satire of contemporary feminism ran for ages in Seattle and has had numerous successful productions across the country.

Angry Housewives will play Nov. 4 -20, 2022.  

Angry Housewives is presented through Special Arrangement with Concord Theatricals.

Auditions will be held Saturday, Sept 17 @ 12:00pm and Sunday, Sept 18 @ 6:00pm.  Callbacks (If required) Tuesday, Sept 20 @ 7:00pm. 

Auditioners are asked to sing 16- 32 bars of a song that best shows off their voice and range, this will be followed by a dance audition.  Early video auditions - which must be submitted prior to Sept 17 – may be submitted and can substitute for appearing at the Sunday or Monday auditions.  The video should include a song showing off your voice and range and a 1-minute dance routine demonstrating the extent of your dance training.  However, if chosen from a video audition, candidates will be required to appear in person at the callbacks.  Video audition s should be sent to peter@fhtaz.org.  FHT prefers and encourages auditioners to be vaccinated. 

Actors should consider roles if they feel they can represent the age ranges listed.  All roles are open to all ethnicities.
